This along with Avatar are my least favourite Cameron flicks. that is because you cannot relate to the emotion of the film. remember you are dead inside.

Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 It's time captain. Yes...time indeed. The Hunt for Red October still ticks all the boxes and more. Where to begin? Probably one of my favourite starts to a movie with the cold inlet, the close-up of Connery's face, the quiet blowing Arctic wind and the gradual build of the Hymn and on from there. Musically the film is excellent -highlights being Ancestral Aid (Just ties into the scene when all hell breaks loose, the sirens, alarms and mayhem), Nuclear Scam and the aforementioned Hymn to name a few at least. The cast also is something else, Connery, Neill, Baldwin, Glenn, Curry, Ackland and Richard Jordan (brilliant in his little screen time.) Personally, I think it's one of Connery's finer performances. Little moments nowadays I tend to latch onto- his expression after Borodin's "What about the singing?", the look of concern then to hell with it. Or his little smile as he catches the cup when Red October begins her journey through the canyons, his tired "Shut up!" to the whiny navigator and even his response to Mancuso's comment about turning into the torpedo's path: "Yes" (way it's said more than anything). In fact the film's got a film quotable lines ("You arrogant ass! You killed us!") though most come from Connery, Glenn and Jordan ("You've lost another submarine?"). Of all the films, it's the closest to the book as it can get (in contrast, both Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger have massive parts either missing or changed about.). The one little thing I'm not mad on was Borodin dying (though he gets a good parting line). Solid 5/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Yeah people never want to know why you liked something, because things are liked by default. But if you didn't like something, a detailed explanation must be provided. It just bored me to tears. Like every other submarine thriller I've struggled through. Well I guess I can pretend to like it if that will help me fit into the crowd and make people happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I love the man, but who missed Roger Deakins?! Me! I found Hoytema's imagery (apart from a few striking compositions) dreary, monochromatic and lacking in dynamic range.

A24 4,345 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 That's just it. There is no glove for Spectre. The man on the street hates it. That's why I went in expecting nothing.

Sweeping Strings 2,363 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 SPECTRE's current box-office haul is 877.5 million, with the doubtless lucrative DVD/on-demand release to follow next month. Admittedly it will likely still fall short of Skyfall's billion-plus, but regardless of this it's hardly a flop . And expecting it to have done similar business to the 50th anniversary film would probably have been foolish anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Rosenman's score is better than most of the Giacchino music. It's better than much of Insurrection, except the theme, better than some of 6. It's certainly not better than any of the others. Sure it's richly written music but it's cold to me. And there are some really obnoxious moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
